Hi Readers: What did you guys think of today's second chapter? Sorry it took so long for me to post it, but I just had to get it right for you guys. But now, I want to let you guys know that I originally planned to post this chapter as the second half of Chapter Sixty-Nine. But then I thought about it again, and I decided that it'd be better if it was separate. So, that's what I did. Thanks again for reading, and I hope that you guys enjoy today's third chapter, which will be a direct continuation of the last chapter, but with Jay's brother instead.

JAY: 'Hey, Matt just told me that we're moving operations from Hawaii to LA. What are you and Natalie going to do for a house?'
They were just out in the backyard guest house, within walking distance of where his brother was currently staying with his wife; but rather than walk out back so that they could talk to each other, he decided to give him a call so that they can talk about something. Then again, Will doesn't really want to move right now, especially since he and Natalie are currently still in bed together; the two of them having made love to each other the night before. And there's a reason for that, which is because they've agreed that they're ready. Ready to try and have a baby. But that wasn't what was on Will's mind at the moment. Rather, he was currently in the midst of speaking to his brother so that they can figure out what they're going to do when it comes to their living situation; which is something that he hasn't ever had to think about, because he didn't think that this would happen. And just what might 'this' be? It would be them moving the company to Los Angeles. But now, it's happened; and that means that he and Natalie actually have to talk about it. But right now, he needs to give Jay an adequate answer to his text. Taking a breath as he thought about it, Will answered his text.
WILL: 'Well, considering this is the first I'm hearing about this; I'm not sure. I'll have to talk to Natalie. Can we get together later?'
He hoped that text message would be enough, enough to get his brother off his back so that he can let him talk to Natalie about this turn of events that he just heard of; events that he believes he's going to talk to Natalie about, on the premise that it's going to happen. He can't explain why he believes it's going to be the case, but he just believes that it's going to be the case. So, he and Natalie have to talk; but first, she needs to wake up. And that was exactly what she just did this morning. Putting her hand on his back as she saw him sitting up, Natalie proceeded to sit up and then ran her hand up and down her husband's back. "Hey, what are you doing awake so early?" Turning around to look at Natalie this morning, Will smiled as he was glad that he no longer had to be awake. "Sorry, I was about to get back into bed; I just went to the washroom." Natalie agreed with her husband as he told her that. "Did I wake you up?" Natalie smiled. "I could hear you thinking." Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that, well aware of what she was talking about.
He always seems to tap his foot when he's thinking, or when he's reading a text message from his brother, which he just got one. Reaching over to grab his phone again, Will sighed. "Sorry Natalie, I was texting my brother before you woke up." Natalie agreed. "Is it Alex? She okay?" Will agreed with his beautiful wife when she asked him whether Alex was okay. "Yes, she's fine. Believe me Natalie, you would know if Alex wasn't okay." Natalie was confused as she heard her husband when she told him that, not understanding why she'd know that Alex wasn't okay. "Okay, you're going to have to explain that to me." Will snickered as he turned to look at his wife again. "I would've jumped out of bed, or Jay would've been knocking at our door begging us to get up so we can help her." Natalie thought about what Will just told her, before agreeing with her husband; after which, he proceeded to finally go ahead and read the text message that his brother just sent him this morning. That way, he can maybe get back in bed with his wife for a moment.
JAY: 'How about I talk to Matt (since I live in his home), I can ask him if we can all get together and get a meeting set up.'
Thinking about what Jay texted him, Will took a breath before thinking about what he should do; because he knows that Natalie wanted to spend time with him today, yet this does seem to be something important. Sitting up in bed behind her husband, Natalie was starting to get a bit concerned. "Is everything okay Will?" Will took a breath as he heard Natalie ask him that, before turning his head and looking at his beautiful wife. "Listen, how about I tell you what's going on with all the texts? Then we can send a reply to my brother?" Natalie was a bit confused as she heard her husband say that, before watching as he climbed into bed with her. "Okay, I know I'm just waking up; but I am so lost right now Will." Will agreed with his wife as she told him that, before moving close to her and putting his hand on her hip; after which, he leaned in and kissed her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Will smiled. "Sorry, how about I fill you in?" Natalie agreed with him as he told her that, before smiling as they laid down in bed together.
Grabbing his phone, Will made sure that it was in his hand when he moved close to Natalie; after which, he went to set his phone down behind her in bed. Wrapping his arm around Natalie, Will smiled as he put his hand on the back of her neck and smiled at the woman of his dreams; at the same time, Natalie put her hand on Will's face as she was unable to deny just how happy she was at the moment.
After which, she leaned in and proceeded to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Will agreed with Natalie as she said that, before smiling as he ran his hand down her back. "I love you too, and I am so glad that we have this life together. You are the woman of my dreams, and I am so proud to call you my wife." Natalie smiled, agreeing with Will as he told her that before leaning in and kissing him again; after which, Will took things nice and slow with Natalie. "So, are you going to tell me what's going up right now?" Will sighed as he heard Natalie ask him that question, before agreeing to do just that this morning.
"Jay just texted me, and he told me that Matt told him that he's moving operations from Hawaii to Los Angeles." Natalie seemed taken aback when she heard Will tell her that, as it was not something that she expected; especially not when Matt is a friend of hers. Se thought that she would've heard about it herself. "Okay, now that's something that I've heard yet." And it was as if somebody knew what was going on, because Natalie and Will's phones both soon blew up with some messages. Laughing a bit, Will smiled as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly; after which, he ran his hand up and down her back. "We can ignore them." Natalie sighed as she heard Wills ay that, as she was thinking about that as well. Yet, there was just something in her that made her feel like she needed to read the e-mail that she just got. "I just have this feeling that I need to read the e-mail that I just got, and I have no idea why." Will agreed with his wife when she said that, before leaning in and proceeding to kiss her softly; which is what Natalie wanted.
"Can we just say here today in bed? Enjoy ourselves, and maybe try for a baby?" Will smiled as he heard Natalie ask him that, as that is most definitely something that he wants to do; he wants to try and have a baby with his wife too. "Oh, I want to do that so much; but I think we both know that there is something else we need to do first, because we need to go talk to Matt. I have no doubt in my mind that's actually what was just in our inboxes right now. There's something that just tells me that we need to read the e-mail." Natalie agreed with Will when he told her that, before kissing him again. After which, she took things nice and slow with her incredible husband. "I love you." Will agreed with Natalie when she said that, before smiling as he took things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams. "I love you too, and I can't wait to get you pregnant." Natalie smiled as she heard Will say that, as that's definitely something that she's interested in trying with him. "I've been dreaming about that too." Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that.
He then ran his hand up and down her back as they looked into each other's eyes, the both of them just taking a minute in their own world to think about them having a baby together. "Boy or girl?" Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that. "I want a boy." Natalie was actually quite surprised when Will told her that; as she thought, as a man, he'd want to have a daughter first. "Really?" Will smiled, agreeing with his wife. "Jay's already having two daughters first. So, he can be the first one to give my parents grandkids; I'll give him that. But I'm going to be the first brother to have a child to carry on the Halstead last name." Natalie smiled as she heard Will say that, as that's most definitely something that she loves the idea of. "Oh, I love that idea." Will agreed with Natalie as she said that, before leaning in and proceeding to kiss him softly. "I actually really like that idea." Will smiled. "And I already have name in mind." Natalie was a bit taken aback when she heard Will tell her that he already has a name in mind for their future, unborn child.
"You've already been thinking of names for our kids? When I'm not even pregnant?" Will smiled as he heard Natalie say that. "I just thought of one that you may like. I mean, if you want to hear it." Natalie agreed with Will when he asked her whether she wants to hear the name that he has in mind for their hypothetical future child, which she does. "Of course, I do." Will smiled as he heard Natalie say that she'd like to hear the name. "PJ Halstead." Natalie was a bit taken aback when she heard Will say that. "Wait, PJ? As in, Patrick, Jr?" Will shook his head when Natalie asked him whether he wants to name their child Patrick, Jr, because that was not the name; rather, the name he was thinking is Patrick Jeffrey Halstead. "Actually, that's not the name I was thinking...at least, not entirely." Natalie agreed with Will when he said that. "I was actually thinking Patrick Jeffrey Halstead."
